Change Lives

Thursday April 29th 2010.....

Another busy day after yesterdays 14 hour marathon. Yesterday was a tiring day for me, but know where near as bad as it must of been for Faith. Today she showed just very small signs of beginning to trust, although she is clearly so very very frightened. Faith would climb into any hole she can find, and to see a dog look like she has given up on life is a disturbing way to spend your day. She will not eat or drink in front of anyone, although eats at night when she is alone, and spent her time just lying curled up in a corner. She came out for three walks today (2 with me and one with Gregg) but don't let the photos fool you, she was terrified every single minute she was outside. We had to take her out though, as she wouldn't go to the toilet inside either. Faith has all the time she needs with us, I have the feeling that is going to be a long time.

I had the pleasure of seeing little Jonesy today (formerly Bones) although it was to take him to get castrated so as a man the smile didn't last long! He looks fantastic and is doing well. It was good to see him happy.

Who We Are.....

Stephen Wylie and one of the SHAK dogs Donnie.

And What We Do.....

Celebrating its 10th anniversary on June 19th 2016, SHAK has come a long way since its founder Stephen Wylie uttered those fateful words ‘never again...’ after the shock death of his dog and best friend Shak.

The hundreds of dogs whose lives have been changed because of that loss is testament to a dog that had a lasting imprint on everyone he met.....

Today the registered charity has approximately 70 dogs inits care, offering sanctuary to the ones that really need it or a place to simply become a dog again for others.

Working only with destruction cases from vets, strays anddogs from our trusted charity partners, SHAK does not take in dogs from members of the public. Likewise we are not a rehoming centre, although we do offer the opportunity for people to apply for our Forever Foster project.

We concentrate all of our time, energy and resources directly into the well being of our dogs, enriching lives that others had written off.....

Keep Calm
